Sitcom - Freebie RPG

Okay, it's a silly game where you play a part in a Sitcom.  I'd love to hear opinions and get custom-variations from y'all.  For example, an hour-long Premiere would give the GM an extra die every 10 minutes instead of five.  Things like this.

Anyhow, let me know what you think!!

Just read your game. Sounds like a hoot. Great idea for a real quickie, especially using d4s.

House rule: the porn sitcom game. Whenever you and the GM roll the same number, your character *must* have sex with whoever is in the room. If you roll more than one die that is the same as the GM's die, your character *must* have sex with one more person per die. If no more people are in the room, you must create a situation in which the appropriate amount of people do enter the room. If you lose all your dice, you went out with bang. Get it?

Sorry.

Hah!  Yeah, d4's would make for a super-fast game.  Whee!

I've added your house rule to the "Viewer Poll" section.  Whee!  Looking forward to other people's house rules!!

Okay, here are a couple I was thinking of:

MAY SWEEPS

During Sweeps Week, you may elect to introduce a Guest Star (of the celebrity variety) at any time you would normally have to use your Annoy.  If you want, you can use your Annoy in conjunction with the introduction of the Guest Star (making smart ass comments about your transsexual father, played by Kathleen Turner, for instance).  Work them into your character's crisis somehow.

SEASON FINALE

Instead of a Wrap Up, introduce a Cliffhanger into the story.  This Cliffhanger does not have to pertain to your character!  It should leave some major crisis unresolved until the first episode of next season.

Take care,
Moose

Okay here's a varient: Moralising.

As well as an annoy, each player also gets a Moral. Instead of using their annoy they have the option of trying to force a totally inappropriate moral lesson into the events.

You mean stuff like A Very Special Episode?

Tonight, on a very special episode of Family Matters, Erkle learns he's lactose intolerant and watching this episode will teach you about people who are lactose intolerant and it's a very touching story.

Bah!

Oops!  Forgot to mention that I added A Very Special Episode rules ...

So has anyone actually played this game yet?
